Impeachment trial of Texas’ Ken Paxton to begin no later than August 28

Ken Paxton, the Republican Attorney General in Texas, will face an impeachment trial in the state Senate by August, where the jury deciding his fate could include his wife, Sen. Angela Paxton.
Paxton was suspended from office after the Texas House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to impeach him on Saturday, following numerous accusations against him including securities fraud charges and allegations of misusing his office for personal gain.
Removing Paxton from office would require a two-thirds majority, and the impeachment has exposed growing divisions among Texas Republicans between the establishment and hard-right conservative activists.
